Methodology and Sources

We openly share how the bulletins are produced, which sources feed them, and where their limits lie.

How It Works

1

Source scanning

News agencies, trade publications, official bodies, think tanks and data services are scanned every hour.

2

Classification

Every story is tagged against Turkish and English keyword dictionaries to 10 themes and to the regional/sector scope of 14 bulletins; celebrity and sports news is filtered out.

3

Clustering & impact score

Stories about the same event are merged into one development. Source priority, theme weight, critical wording and multi-source confirmation determine the impact score.

4

Scheduled compilation

Each bulletin is compiled automatically into a draft issue on its own schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly), with a market snapshot and risk gauge.

5

Editorial approval

A TESPAM editor reviews the draft, adds the Entrepreneur's Note and executive summary, removes stories if needed and publishes. Without approval it is published automatically after a set time.

6

Web + PDF

The issue goes live on the web; members download a branded PDF in Turkish or English with one click.

Limits and responsibility

Classification and impact scoring are rule-based; mislabelling can occur. Risk gauges measure news intensity, not an expert assessment of on-the-ground risk. Stories are shown in their source language; if optional machine translation is enabled, headlines may be translated. For important decisions, consult the full source text and TESPAM experts.
